Ruby Zoisite Ruby Zoisite was formed during the Neoproterozoic Era (1 billion to 541 million years ago). Composed of two different minerals, corundum & zoisite, & believed to radiate positive energy & enthusiasm, Ruby Zoisite is associated with helping individuals maintain a positive outlook on life, attract joy, & dispel negativity. Ruby Zoisite is linked to the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra, the energy center associated with love, compassion, & relationships. It is believed to open & activate the Heart Chakra, facilitating the flow of love & positive energy. Believed to have balancing properties, Ruby Zoisite is thought to be useful for Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, & Sagittarius zodiac signs.

Quartz Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on Earth, & we have found quartz crystal objects that date back to 75,000 BCE. The ancient Greeks likened it to ice & named it as such. 'Krystallos' translates to 'ice' in Ancient Greek, & this formed the origin for the word 'crystal' that we use today. This powerful crystal is said to amplify positive energy, providing clarity, focus, & growth. Clear Quartz is associated with the 7th Chakra, or Crown Chakra, & is believed to dislodge stagnant energy, thus restoring an active energy flow for the expansion of consciousness. Quartz is often recognized as the birthstone for April, & is linked to Aries & Taurus zodiac signs.
